A cold corpse lay before Kochou.
Normally, she scrupulously avoided such scenes and would never let herself appear where a body was present.
But Takeya Takizawa was different.
Kochou genuinely believed this man had ability; before he rose to prominence, she had invited him to join Phoenix Academy to work for her.
Unfortunately, Takeya Takizawa was too proud and not the type to willingly play second fiddle, leading to this outcome.
Kochou gazed at the ghastly pale cheeks. Unable to discern any trace of pain on the face, it looked peaceful.
"What a pity."
She sighed softly, withdrew her gaze, and turned to Kamei Bunta beside her.
The old man knelt on the ground, assuming a position of deep reverence with his head touching the floor, embodying utmost submission.
"I deeply apologize for our people disturbing the young miss. Please forgive us, Madam!"
